The board of Freedom Communications Inc., parent company of the Tribune, named Burl Osborne interim chief executive on Tuesday, replacing the outgoing CEO who is leaving for a similar post at Playboy Enterprises Inc.
The board of Freedom Communications Inc., parent company of the Tribune, named Burl Osborne interim chief executive on Tuesday, replacing the outgoing CEO who is leaving for a similar post at Playboy Enterprises Inc.
Osborne, 71, has served as an independent director on Freedom's board since May 2004 and is a career newspaper industry executive.
"We all know these are challenging times for everyone in the media industry, but what is exceptional about Freedom is the strength and consistency of its commitment to its stakeholders and the communities it serves," Osborne said in a statement. "Everyone is dedicated to transforming our business to meet our challenges, and I look forward to leading the company, in collaboration with the management team, to that goal."
He was chairman of the Associated Press from 2002 to 2007. He was the publisher of the Dallas Morning News from 1986 to 2001 and continues to head the Belo Foundation, the Morning News' parent company's philanthropic organization. He lives in Dallas.
Osborne replaces Scott Flanders, Freedom's CEO since 2006, who is leaving at the end of June to head the financially troubled Playboy.
"During my time at Freedom, I saw a very committed group of people rise to the task of remaking the company," Flanders said in a statement. "Burl is the right person to lead the next phase of the company's evolution because he understands both the strengths of the media that must be preserved and what needs to be changed to compete in this new media environment."
Like many media companies, Freedom has suffered falling revenue because of a decline in ad sales and circulation losses as consumers migrate to the Internet. Those trends have accelerated in the current economic recession.
A privately held media company, Freedom went into debt in 2004, when it partnered with two private equity firms, the Blackstone Group and Providence Equity Partners, to raise money so family members could sell their interests in the company. Under the agreement, Freedom's family shareholders maintain control of the company.
"Burl is an exceptional leader who combines outstanding business acumen with depth of experience in the newspaper industry," said Thomas Bassett, great-grandson of Freedom's founder, R.C. Hoiles, and chairman of Freedom's board of directors. "Respected for his integrity and dedication, Burl has already served on Freedom's board in many key positions over the last five years, and I am confident that he will be an outstanding CEO."
Osborne's top challenge is restructuring Freedom's $700 million in debt, which is due to be serviced by the end of 2009. Freedom technically violated its debt covenants last October when it fell out of compliance of required debt-to-revenue ratios.
In March, Moody's Rating Service downgraded Freedom's debt to Caa, two steps above its lowest grade. In April, Standard and Poor's downgraded Freedom's debt rating to CCC-, two grades above bankruptcy. On June 10, S&P withdrew its debt rating of Freedom at the company's request.

They found that early-stage MS patients who had adequate levels of vitamin D had a 57% lower rate of new brain lesions, a 57% lower relapse rate, and a 25% lower yearly increase in lesion volume than those with lower levels of vitamin D. Loss in brain volume, which is an important predictor of disability, was also lower among patients with adequate vitamin D levels. The results suggest that vitamin D has a strong protective effect on the disease process underlying MS, and underscore the importance of correcting vitamin D insufficiency, which is widespread in Europe and the U.S., the researchers said.
"The benefits of vitamin D appeared to be additive to those of interferon beta-1b, a drug that is very effective in reducing MS activity. The findings of our study indicate that identifying and correcting vitamin D insufficiency should become part of the standard of care for newly diagnosed MS patients," said Ascherio.

Match Preview
Duo targeting Royals action Reading midfielder Mikele Leigertwood and striker Simon Church are hoping to prove their fitness for the home clash with Millwall. Leigertwood, whose loan spell from QPR was made permanent in May when he signed a three-year deal, has been struggling with a knee injury while Church is also doubtful for the season's opening game due to a thigh strain. Should Leigertwood fail to make it, manager Brian McDermott will turn to Brian Howard or Brynjar Gunnarsson. Forward Noel Hunt has proved his fitness in the last two warm-up matches and is in contention to start but McDermott will be without suspended midfielder Jay Tabb. Tabb, a substitute in Reading's play-off final defeat to Swansea in May, was sent off at half-time for comments made to match officials and will subsequently miss the first two games of the season. Millwall will check on Paul Robinson and Liam Trotter ahead of the trip. Lions skipper Robinson made his return from a summer knee operation in the 4-3 friendly win over Charlton last weekend and will start at centre-half if boss Kenny Jackett feels he is fit enough. Midfielder Trotter has been suffering with a thigh strain but is also expected to be okay to travel. Goalkeeper David Forde missed a chunk of pre-season with an ankle injury but he is now fit. Striker Shaun Batt is the only long-term absentee and he is back in training after a cruciate injury. Summer signings Therry Racon, Darius Henderson and Jordan Stewart are all expected to make their debuts.

Match Report
Manset double stuns Lions Substitute Mathieu Manset salvaged a point for Reading with two late goals in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Millwall. The Royals saw their Premier League dream shattered by Swansea in a 4-2 defeat at Wembley in May but staked their claim to be among the frontrunners again this season with a fine comeback. Former Reading striker Darius Henderson put the away side ahead before John Marquis doubled their advantage, but Manset, introduced in the 68th minute, grabbed a late double to ensure the spoils were shared. The hosts started brightly, with Jimmy Kebe flashing a shot narrowly wide of David Forde's near post. At the other end Hamer Bouazza jinked his way to the edge of the box before firing wide as the visitors signalled their intent. James Henry whipped in a corner soon after and found the head of Tamika Mkandawire but his effort failed to trouble Adam Federici. Reading's in-demand striker Shane Long, who scored 28 goals in the last campaign, had to leave the field for treatment in the 20th minute but he was reintroduced soon after. Kebe continued to threaten with his pace, drifting past two opponents before being thwarted by Mkandawire as he lined up a shot. Both sides struggled to maintain the pace they had set in the early stages as the first half drew to a close. Darren Ward briefly set pulses racing again when he shoved Noel Hunt following a challenge between the two, but referee Dave Phillips kept his cards in his pocket. Federici was called into action soon after the restart when Henry tried his luck from distance and, having parried the initial effort, the goalkeeper was quickly back on his feet to deny Marquis, though the flag had already gone up for offside. But there was nothing he could do to keep out Henderson's header four minutes into the second half, with the lively Henry providing the cross from the left. Henderson started his career at Reading and also returned to haunt them last season when he scored twice for Sheffield United in a 3-2 win. Brian McDermott's side responded positively and Long did superbly well to control Jem Karacan's pass before rifling a shot against the crossbar. Hunt came within inches of levelling the scores on the hour but could not quite make contact with Kebe's drilled cross. But it was the visitors who struck next when, in 62nd minute, Henry and Liam Trotter linked well before laying on a cross for Marquis to provide the finish. The experienced Ian Harte tried to rally his team-mates and fizzed in a low cross which somehow eluded everyone in the packed penalty area. McDermott made a late double change, introducing Manset and Hal Robson-Kanu for Hunt and Karacan. Manset gave Reading a glimmer of hope with a stunning long-range drive in the 86th minute then headed home Kebe's cross with a minute of normal time remaining.

So, I finally got around to collecting some seed from my I. tinctoria and was wondering the best way to grow it? I ask because it's late in the season and the mother plant usually goes dormant in winter but I'm not sure the seeds will last over the winter. Also, I tried growing I. glandulifera from seed once and nothing came up. Any ideas? |

Bruce I think they can be set out during the winter for you. I got about 5 seeds on mine.They seem to have all rotted. This were tried in a greenhouse and was probably to warm. Impatiens tinctoria is a hardy species and can take temps below freezing. As for I. glandulifera they need a cold spell, these plants have escaped and have spread in Canada. |

Hello. I tried some years ago and didn't have much luck. I would like to try again. Thanks. Filix |
Follow-Up Postings:
English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is hardy to your zone but you are on the border line, so mulching and drainage is essential to get the plants through the winter months. Lavender prefers gritty soils, and does not perform well in heavy clays. If you have to many problems with hardiness try potting some up and overwintering it in a warmer place, like a basement. |
I'm far from an expert, but here's what I've found (although my area has technically been changed to Zone 6). I think Munstead is reputed to be the most hardy. Also Hidcote. That said, I don't like those since they seem to flop around here in a slow and miserable death that seems to last about 2-3 years. Of course, we have hot, humid summers. I like Provence best so far. It might be borderline in Zone 5, but I'd still try it, especially if you can find a cheap one out there. Grosso is good, too, but my understanding is that it's a little less hardy than Provence. Hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck! 'Mare |
Thankyou very much. I will look at all of those. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Weekly Executive Report
It was a good week in several respects. We had strong gift sales, saw
improved Web site traffic on several days, conducted a successful test of
a new campaign approach, signed a contract to switch to a new email
marketing firm, and hired a Web designer.
Sales and Marketing
The gift campaign is going well so far. As of Friday (20 days to go in
the campaign), we had sold more than $30,000 in gifts so far (total last
year was $60K).
We launched the first of a series of tests of what is generally considered
a "best practice," that is an emphasis on "showing" the product rather
than "telling" prospects about it with the usual marketing superlatives.
We're not talking about giving away any more content but exposing
prospective customers earlier in the sales process to its range and
depth. This past week the most successful test of the approach was a
map-centered pitch. We'll see the final results on Tuesday and in the
meantime, will push forward with other new concepts this coming week
We're all very excited about moving to a new email marketing firm,
Eloqua. This change will allow us to do many things we could not do
before, including the ability to automate campaigns that are customized to
individual users' interests and behavior in reading emails and looking at
the site. Eloqua will be effective on December 28th (had to start in the
4th quarter because of a discount). We have a "kick-off" call next week
with the Eloqua person who will be here for on-site training from January
12-14. As of the 28th, the staff will be able to start familiarizing
itself with Eloqua and do some online training. We expect to be
implementing Eloqua fully by the week of January 18th.
Still having some reconciliation issues with W Promote, which does drive
traffic but so far at low conversion rates. Will look at other
potentially productive traffic driving deals with Aaric.
I'm pleased to announce that we've hired a new web site designer who will
start on Wednesday pending his background check. After several months of
looking, we finally found someone with the right skill set, experience and
personality to do the job. His name is Anthony Tseng. Anthony is a 2007
graduate of the University of Texas, Dallas (B.S. in Cognitive
Science-specialization in Human-Computer Interaction). He has solid
experience working on large scale sites and projects through work at
several ad agencies. He understands design that enhances usability and
bolsters e-commerce.
This past week's Geopolitical Weekly was the most successful ever in terms
of traffic. It generated 18,378 visits from the email (207% higher than
the 4-week average of 8,845) and 94 free list signups (324% higher than
the 4-week average of 29). There are several factors that may have
accounted for this: 1) high interest in the Obama-Afghanistan issue, 2) we
sent out an email teaser for the piece on Monday morning, 3) and the
Geopol email was sent on Wednesday morning as opposed to Monday
afternoon. We will do further evaluation and determine what lessons we
should glean from this.
Overall visits to the site were up 21% over the previous week (but that
was Thanksgiving week).
We're working on a new weekly metrics report that will be distributed
widely throughout the company and give staff a better idea of how we're
doing overall. It will include stats on what people are reading. Hope to
send out the first one on Friday.
Video continues to perform very well in terms of views. Now we have to
use this audience interest to drive conversions, something we have not
done effectively to date. Just one example - there is no call to action
after a new visitor watches a video, so very soon we will have a free list
signup associated with the video.
Our ability to boost conversion rates, to syndicate video and to use video
products for selected audiences (behind a pay wall, for institutional
users, etc) will be facilitated by using a video hosting and syndication
service rather than You Tube. We've selected Kit Digital (formerly Feed
Room) but still need to work out details on our package and pricing.
Another conference call is set for Tuesday.
We had a good call with Reuters Insider, Reuters' corporate video
service. We've been supplying video to Insider for months, but the
project has been in early beta. There have been only 10,000 customers in
this stage of testing. In about ten days, it is moving to the next phase,
which is exciting for us because Insider will be in front of hundreds of
thousands of corporate customers. This is because Insider will be
integrated into other Reuters products that are widely used in the
financial community, such as Thomson 1 and Reuters 3000. In another six
to twelve months, we will have the ability to sell our institutional
products directly through the Reuters Insider screen. I look forward to
working with Richard and Patrick to optimize this opportunity.
Marla and Brian worked double time last week to produce our special
three-part series on Mexico, which was posted this past Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.
We've updated our media kit to reflect November's improved traffic figures
and made other improvements. Matt and I will use the new kit to go after
advertisers directly. To date we have been pitching ad agencies and have
generated interest but haven't closed anything. So now we will try a new
tack while continuing to pitch agencies.
We got some good mentions: Dallas Morning News; AP; Fox News (2x - O
'Reilly Factor); Christian Science Monitor; Zaman (Turkey); National Post
(Canada); PTI (India); Reuters (UK); Guardian (UK); Xinhua (China); Polit
(Russia); Economic Times (India). Played well domestically: Somalia as a
base for AQ; Hunt for Bin Laden; Obama's strategy for Afghanistan. Played
well internationally: Threats to Indian security; Hunt for Bin Laden;
Obama's strategy for Afghanistan.
Thanks to Patrick, we have a promising marketing opportunity through the
Pentagon Federal Credit Union, which has nearly one million members.
George will be giving a speech at a PFCU event and PFCU will promote
STRATFOR on its site.
I had a good meeting in Washington last Monday with Mike Maibach, the head
of the European-American Business Council, which has many leading
multinationals as members. EABC is interested in having George speak at
its July annual dinner, which is attended by senior level execs and
European ambassadors and is centered on the EABC's annual report on
innovation and competitiveness.
Affiliate Program
The affiliate program is launching on Monday. Some technical issues have
been resolved and all landing pages and banners are ready. Through our
affiliate network, ShareASale, and our own direct efforts, we will pitch
various sites to promote STRATFOR via banners and buttons. Affiliates
receive 15% of sales they drive. Sales are validated through ShareASale.
I know everyone, including me, is tired of hearing this, but we are still
waiting for Apple to give us the final go ahead. Our developer said it
would probably come on Friday, but it didn't. Here's hoping for Monday.
Everything is ready to go.

on a more serious note, there was a lul after 9-11 because tourist visas were harder to come by but now its not so bad as far as that goes. the thing to keep in mind is that their summer break is our winter break etc. that being said I don't recall ever having a problem with the groups. in fact I think they are more pleasant than many other tourists.

Let me introduce you to my favorite new dress. I'm calling it the ruffle swing dress because I'm no good at dreaming up clever names. This dress is based on my self drafted ruffle swing top (see what I mean about the names). Again no darts or closures, wee! I love that I can just throw it on and go. Plus the dress is super fun to walk in because the ruffle adds just enough stiffness for the hem to float around me as I move.

"This made fro a tasty and easy meal. We have an over abundance of zucchini at the moment and some had gotten a little to large. So this was the perfect recipe to use some of them up.
Only after serving did I realiseI missed the lemon juice and yogurt...but never mind it tasted refreshing and light without it."
"Tasty, n oh so easy! Will make again...I added some smoked BBQ sauce n loads of fresh jalapeno at the end."
"Fantastic! A wonderful recipe to make a head of time. Served with a side salad and some fresh crusty bread...it's great for the whole family and impressive enough for guests.
"A tasty vegetarian dish loved also by the meat eaters in our family. I roasted off organic onion, carrot, green bean,broccoli & carrot and only used a small sprinkling of cheese.
The leftovers were also enjoyed cold in the next days lunchbox."
I was worried at first as my mixture seemed so dry to start, even when I added an little extra water it still seemed not quite right but after proving it came together and was easy to roll into ropes. I salted some, others I brushed with melted butter when they came out the oven and rolled in cinnamon sugar. YUM!"

GD help with Error
Ok I have this script for making a weather Icon. Right now i'm trying to figure out the error message:
Warning: imagettfbbox() [function.imagettfbbox]: Could not find/open font in /var/www/includes/wx.php on line 13
Warning: imagettftext() [function.imagettftext]: Could not find/open font in /var/www/includes/wx.php on line 14
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/includes/wx.php:8) in /var/www/includes/wx.php on line 24
I'm not concerned with the second image at the moment eventualy it will get placed in the upper right hand corner of the base image. any Ideas on this?
PHP Code:<?php
$town = 'BoothabyHarbor';
$temp = '90';
// Generate Image & set width
$image = imagecreatefrompng("../images/weather/wBack.png");
$image2 = imagecreatefrompng("../images/weather/wx/40.png");
$imageWidth = '230';
echo $imageWidth;
// Generate Town
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$font = "fonts/hyo.ttf";
$fontSize = "18";
$ret = imagettfbbox($fontSize, 0, $font, $town);
imagettftext($image, $fontSize, 0, ($imageWidth - $ret[2]) / 2, 12, $color, $font, $month);
// Generate Temperature
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$font = "fonts/arial.ttf";
$fontSize = "14";
$ret = imagettfbbox($fontSize, 0, $font, $temp);

What version of GD library?
The php manual contains the following which mentions the error you are getting -
The path to the TrueType font you wish to use.
Depending on which version of the GD library PHP is using, when fontfile does not begin with a leading / then .ttf will be appended to the filename and the library will attempt to search for that filename along a library-defined font path.
When using versions of the GD library lower than 2.0.18, a space character, rather than a semicolon, was used as the 'path separator' for different font files. Unintentional use of this feature will result in the warning message:Warning: Could not find/open font.
For these affected versions, the only solution is moving the font to a path which does not contain spaces.
In many cases where a font resides in the same directory as the script using it the following trick will alleviate any include problems.
PHP Code:
// Set the enviroment variable for GD
putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath('.'));
The y-ordinate. This sets the position of the fonts baseline, not
the very bottom of the character.
// Name the font to be used (note the lack of the .ttf extension)
$font = 'SomeFont';
If you are learning PHP, developing PHP code, or debugging PHP code, do yourself a favor and check your web server log for errors and/or turn on full PHP error reporting in php.ini or in a .htaccess file to get PHP to help you.

Ve had my glock for a while now and was wondering if there is anything to lower the recoil. It's not bad but wanted to see if I can reduce it an hit smaller groups. So far I've reduces the trigger pull to 2.5 and installed a recoil buffer.

Add a full metal guide rod I have steel but there are others I did same 2 my G23 but as far as a 2.5 trigger that's sorta unsafe I made mine 3.5 and it's a lil light as far as shooting and the 3.5 connector never makes it 3.5 there is more work 2 b done witch u probly know or droped the better set idk I double shoot a sig 3lb so it depends 4 2 me is the safe butter zone of glock shooting ... U could also play around with diff spring wights but that all depends on shooter... The lighter striker with better springs will help a lot also ...
2nd guess is 2 shoot slower and practice glocks are not pin drivers , you can b very accurate and hit small targets and dead center shots but rapid fire will never b pretty group accurate...
Some people complain about the .40 S&W having a "sharper" or "snappier" recoil than, say, the .45 ACP. Personally, I don't notice it too much, although they are different. I would look to grips to make a change, if that is what you want. Nothing can be done to eliminate the recoil impulse for a given round, but it can be "softened."
A tungsten or steel guide rod may help to reduce felt recoil. Also as mentioned before, a hogue style rubber grip may also help with the felt "snappiness" of the round. Gripping the firearm as far up as you can, should also help with perceived recoil. Good luck. Hope this helps. I'd also have to agree and question the safeness of a 2.5lbs trigger. IMHO I would never go less then 3.5.

Kennedy
Federal 180 grain
Lower the recoil on a G22? You're looking for faster follow up shots? Shooting steel challenge? My suggestions would be get a Wolff solid guide rod, then get their ISMI springs in 13, 15, and 17lb. Get the competition kit which includes a heavier striker spring, and a lighter safety plunger spring. You can also polish the top of the safety plunger and the tip of the trigger bar where they engage. Other than that, I've tried the ZEV 2.5lb connector and virtually no difference compared to the stock 3.5lb (or minus) connector. The OEM 5lb connector is just fine. Lightening the trigger pull is more for accuracy than taming recoil. A tighter, higher grip, both thumbs forward, and ease the trigger back to the reset instead of letting it fly forward after each shot will also help you manage the recoil and be more accurate.

We just started down the path of gun ownership, taking our CCW class next week.
Finally decided the old Webley wasn't enough to keep in the drawer, so we picked up a pair of .38 S&W with the laser grips. Yeah, cheating, but you know, I'd rather see where that bullet was headed than not, since I've not shot since in my early teens with my grandfather...and then just .22 "BB shot" stuff and rifles.
Wife opened her own business and that's what sold her on the idea, since she'll be carrying lots of cash.

McCurdo help
by romicfTom & Ray; Its no wonder you guys were 'Banned in Boston', you totally missed the problem of the Delta Snow Rover bouncing around. You should have been thinking of 'worn shocks'. You see, momentum plays a large part in how well a vehicle handles, stays on the road, corners, etc. One of the cures for momentum problems is Shock Absorbers, they help dampen the effects of momentum. Let me explain; When you have worn shocks, and your tire hits a sharp bump in the road, the natural reaction of the wheel assembly is to continue on as it had been before hitting the bump. Once the bump has compressed the tire more than its operating limits (compressing the air in the tire more than it had been), the tire wants to 'spring' upward (because of the bump and the air compression in the tire), however, the shocks absorb some of this bump action and dampen it, stopping the 'dribble' effect that takes pace without shocks. Next (yes, there's more!), there's Newton's first & second laws of Physics- "An object at rest tends to stay at rest", and, "An object in motion tends to stay in motion." Analyzing the length and width or the Delta and the large tires involved, one may be able to compare it to a Jeep, a relatively short wheelbase vehicle, while the Delta is 37' long, because of the huge tires and elevation above the snow, it could be calculated as a relatively short wheelbase vehicle (compared to its center of gravity. A Jeep, as you know tends to bounce around a bit more on the highway than a passenger sedan. This is due to the 'short wheelbase high center of gravity' of the vehicle. How do you 'dampen' the bouncing around of the rear of the Delta? Shift mass! No, don't go to Church on Friday night instead of Sat nite. Mass means the Newton's laws stuff. Imagine a safe falling from the Prudential tower. While it is falling, it is, in essence 'weightless', because if you put a scale under it, it would weigh nothing. But put an immovable object under it (like the ground) and see what happens. Or, think of opening a six ton bank vault door. In essence, because it is on its hinges, it weights nothing, but try and abruptly stop that door once its swinging - this is a demonstration of mass. get it. So, back to the Delta (and the shocks), by reducing mass (also known as 'unsprung weight' on wheel assemblies) you can help dampen the effect of the bouncing. The correct answer would have been to inflate the tires to the maximum that they could be (while taking into consideration its traction and floatation on the snow. Hard tires have less traction and don't float as well as softer tires. (Think of Ted Kennedy's tires at the beach at Chappy)) and working with whatever adjustments could be made to the shocks (soft - hard, etc) and the bounce could be reduced. Next, 'Shift Mass' to the middle of the vehicle. Mass in the middle creates less mass over the tires. Remember Newton? Once the tire starts to bounce the back of the Delta up, its wants to continue to go up, until some force changes that, like gravity. If you have more mass over the tires, there more mass wanting to continue the upward trajectory, less mass recovers faster. mass located at the middle of the Delta is, in essence, unsprung weight, so there's not as much bounce. All this is why the Formula and Indy race cars have such light suspensions and inboard brakes - less unsprung weight - less momentum keeping tires bouncing around - better traction, smother ride, better control. Do you think you could possibly explain this to your audience? Do you understand what I'm even talking about? Hello? Tom, I saw your eyes glaze over as soon as I mentioned mass - you remember Vespres during Lent and having to go to mass everyday for forty days when you were a kid. And Ray, as soon as I said Newton, you remembered that girl in Newton, MA - and those nights in the cemetery. Have fun!
Favorite Moment: I love when you announce all the members of the production crew at the end of the show, and all the great names you've invented for them. My fiance's eyes glaze over whenever we're in the car and your show starts - "Here's your buddies Quick and Quack! Deep down, she really likes the show! Ha!

Delicious! I used soy chorizo and goat cheese instead of feta. I also added a jalapeno for a bit more heat. These are quick and very tasty!
Great recipe, I was pleasantly surprised by the combination and I used andouille sausage instead of chorizo. It was quick to throw together and I will definitely make it again
Fantastic recipe. The perfect blend of spice from the Poblano and chorizo, salt from the feta, tang from the lime and subtle sweetness from the yams. We will make this again.
